8.1 and older: no new release, use your distro's package or upgrade; CISA says take PHP systems you can't patch offline. Related CVE-2026-115560 is still unfixed: set session.upload_progress.enabled=0 in php.ini and restart. Hunting hint from Wiz: exploit stage 1 leaves "Allowed memory size ... exhausted ... in Unknown on line 0" in your PHP error log.
☕ Morning briefing: researchers report PHP2Shell hacks in the wild, and exploit code is public. Update PHP today. HTTP2Shell, the Brotli bug, reportedly reaches .NET, PowerShell, FFmpeg and more. Microsoft patched Oct 25; no attacks reported yet. #infosec

🚨 OpenAI let its AI agents try to escape test copies of its training sandboxes. They got past 3 walls: onto the host machine; from a host they were handed, onto the internet (limited) via log, metrics and login services; and between sealed boxes via CPU cache timing. #infosec
